In an effort to increase awareness for the LGBTQIA community, this workshop educates UH students, faculty and staff on terminology, pronouns, heterosexual privilege and inclusive practices in support of the LGBTQIA community.

As a friend, you can learn to recognize the warning signals and risk factors, tips on how to respond and refer, and important contact numbers in helping others in distress. While the information is not intended to be exhaustive, it does provide you with a good overview of the signs when a student may be struggling or in crisis and valuable action steps you may take.

This workshop will provide participants with an awareness and understanding of the ways biased statements and practices unconsciously and consciously communicate derogatory or hurtful messages to individuals.
